HC Deb 11 July 1905 vol 149 cc265-6
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate if he will state what sum was realised by the sale of the Fishery Board cruiser "Norna;" and in what respect was she found unsuitable for the service.

THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgton)

Five hundred and fifty pounds was realised by the sale of the "Norna." Owing to the size and design of the vessel she was not well adapted to face the rough weather which the fishery cruisers have frequently to cope with in superintending the fisheries.
